2025 is underway and the first full week of New Year’s resolution time has passed. But, it’s been a weird one. There seems to be a lack of resolution announcements on social media. Usually everyone is airing their plans in public so they can be held responsible by their friends and family.

My social media has been silent. So either everyone I know is taking the year off or they are keeping their goals to themselves.

Or, they saw the data that shows the best places to live if you want to keep your resolutions and they aren’t in Idaho. Based on data from WalletHub where they used percentage of obese adults, adults not exercising, income, credit score, unemployment, drinkers, smokers, and a few other statistics.

Seattle is a Better City Than All of Idaho For Keeping New Year’s Resolutions

WalletHub says the best city is Seattle, Washington which is close to Idaho…but not close enough to make your resolution any easier. Portland and Salt Lake City are the next best and closest cities to any border of Idaho at #8 and #11 in the US. You don’t get to a city in Idaho until Boise way down at #20.

Worth noting that a huge percentage of the cities on the list are cities in California. Not saying you should move there…or move back, but they have a few great places to help you keep your 2025 goals.
